commit deb232e884877bf10b4ce2580909eedec986c284 upstream.

ZDI reported and analyzed a race condition during close for espintcp
sockets:

    espintcp_close() frees emsg->skb via kfree_skb() without holding
    any socket lock. Concurrently, the xfrm_trans_reinject work queue
    invokes esp_output_tcp_finish() -> espintcp_push_skb() ->
    espintcp_push_msgs() -> skb_send_sock_locked(), which reads the
    same skb as a data source.

Fix this by adding a synchronize_rcu() call after resetting sk_prot,
since esp_output_tcp_finish() runs under RCU and won't use a socket
with sk_prot == &tcp_prot.  Simply taking the socket lock in
espintcp_close() could lead to leaks, if esp_output_tcp_finish()
re-adds an skb in the slot we just freed. After this, the existing
barrier() is no longer needed.
